Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to an antibody targeting CD47 and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] To date, immunotherapy is considered to be the most promising systemic tumor treatment method compared with traditional anti-cancer treatment strategies, and plays an indispensable role in improving treatment efficacy. Emerging cancer immunotherapies include cancer vaccines, CAR-T cell therapy, cytokine therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and tumor-targeted monoclonal antibodies. Among them, monoclonal antibodies have become a key and effective treatment method in cancer treatment due to their ability to specifically target molecules.

[0003] Yeast surface display technology is a set of general technologies used in the fields of antibody discovery, target discovery and protein engineering. As one of the technical means for developing therapeutic antibodies in vitro, it has achieved progress from prokaryotic expression systems to eukaryotic expression systems. In antibody engineering, the characteristics of the yeast eukaryotic expression system are used to express antibody library proteins on the surface of yeast cells. Magnetic beads and flow cytometry sorting technology are used to screen based on antibody affinity and display level to obtain high-affinity or high-stability antibody sequences. According to the design, antibodies with a variety of skeleton forms can be obtained, such as single-chain variable region scFv, antibody binding region fragment Fab, full-length IgG, camelid single-domain antibody variable region VHH. At the same time, the eukaryotic system can be used to post-translationally modify antibodies, and the antibody characteristics are closer to antibodies produced by mammalian cells.

[0004] Leukocyte differentiation antigen CD47 (cluster of differentiation 47), also known as integrin-associated protein (IAP), is a glycosylated transmembrane protein widely expressed on the surface of a variety of cells. The molecular weight of CD47 is 45-55kDa. Its structure includes an extracellular variable region that interacts with the corresponding ligand, a transmembrane region formed by a highly hydrophobic transmembrane segment, and a hydrophilic carboxyl-terminal intracellular region. It belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD47 and its ligands not only regulate immune responses, but also mediate various pathological and physiological processes, such as neutrophil chemotaxis and nervous system development, and play a regulatory role in immune tolerance and T cell activation. Signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) is its specific ligand, which is mainly expressed on the surface of phagocytic cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. The interaction between CD47 / SIRPα can transmit inhibitory signals and inhibit the phagocytosis of related cells by macrophages.

[0005] A large number of studies have shown that CD47 is overexpressed in different types of tumors, and high CD47 expression levels are associated with worsening treatment response and prognosis of cancer. Tumor cells transmit "don't eat me" signals to macrophages through CD47 / SIRPα interaction, which leads to the escape of tumor cells' inherent immunity and induces further occurrence and development of tumors. Therefore, blocking the inhibitory signals mediated by the CD47 / SIRPα axis and restoring the phagocytic effect of macrophages on tumor cells provide new ideas and means for tumor immunotherapy.

[0006] However, due to the widespread expression of CD47, potential problems with anti-CD47 antibodies as anticancer drugs may result in off-target effects, such as anemia. CD47 is a key regulator of red blood cell renewal, and CD47-targeted antibodies usually have a high targeting affinity with red blood cells, which may accelerate red blood cell clearance and lead to hemolytic anemia. For example, CD47-targeted agents (i.e., Hu5F9-G4 and TTI-621) can cause acute anemia and thrombocytopenia in humans. Therefore, obtaining anti-CD47 monoclonal antibodies with high activity and low toxicity and side effects is of great significance for tumor immunotherapy. Summary of the invention

[0030] The present invention provides antibodies that specifically bind to CD47. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the present invention can specifically bind to human CD47. Herein, these antibodies are collectively referred to as CD47 antibodies.

[0031] The term "monoclonal antibody" (mAb) refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous population, i.e., the individual antibodies contained in the population are identical except for a few naturally occurring mutations that may be present. It contains only one molecular species of antibody molecules composed of a unique light chain gene product and a unique heavy chain gene product. Specifically, the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of the monoclonal antibody are identical in all molecules of the population. mAbs contain an antigen binding site that is capable of immunoreacting with a specific epitope of the antigen.

[0032] The term "single-chain antibody" (scFv) refers to an antibody composed of the heavy chain variable region (VH) and the light chain variable region (VL) of an antibody connected by a short peptide linker of 15-20 amino acids.

[0033] The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the hypervariable regions of the heavy and light chains of immunoglobulins. There are three heavy chain CDRs and three light chain CDRs. Here, depending on the circumstances, the terms "CDR" and "CDRs" are used to refer to the region containing one or more or even all of the major amino acid residues that contribute to the binding affinity of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to its recognized antigen or epitope. In another specific embodiment, the CDR region or CDR refers to the hypervariable regions of the heavy and light chains of immunoglobulins as defined by IMGT.

[0034] Unless otherwise stated, the experimental methods, detection methods, and preparation methods disclosed in the present invention all adopt conventional molecular biology, biochemistry, cell culture, recombinant DNA technology, and related techniques in the art.

[0035] Unless otherwise specified, the reagents required for the following embodiments can all be obtained from commercial sources (commercially available).

[0036] Example 1: Immunization of mice

[0037] 1) Select healthy Balb / c female mice aged 6-8 weeks and use His-tagged hCD47 recombinant protein for five immunizations.
